Edward F. Smith III

Welcome!

Armed with a Kodak Brownie camera, my childhood world unfolded through the lens, capturing life's boundless wonders. This journey has transitioned from the tactile charm of film to the boundless possibilities of digital artistry. Today, each photograph I craft is a constellation of my life's stories, emotions, and artistic revelations, woven and brought to life with a digital touch. Deeply rooted in unraveling the delicate dance between humanity and the natural world, I seek out moments that tell the story of this intricate bond. Ultimately, I seek to create a bridge—often with soft focus and muted light— between the world as we know it and the world as we feel it.

With mystery and enchantment my visual instincts are to kindle a dialogue with the beholder, to stir an interpretation through a lens that blurs the lines between the seen and the unseen.

My Art Photography Collections

I create art prints for the simple joy of creating. Much of my work is thematic and converges on the sublime, weaving together the ethereal and the emotionally profound through a delicate interplay of intentional soft focus and dark motifs.

  • The Bodie Gold Rush collection spoke to my Americana spirit. The church, standing resilient in the stillness of a bygone era, stirred a deep appreciation for the narratives woven into America's historical fabric. Securing this incredible art print is like owning a fragment of time, both eerie and beautiful. Thank you, Edward.

  • We are adding several pieces from The Pier Fisherman Collection to our corporate art program. Our curator chose this work because of the depth of the soft, ethereal approach each provides, and whether our visitors see the art prints for the first time or the twentieth time, there is always a new story with each visit.
